IMHO, they were fair and got really funny digs in at both Sarah and Hillary.
If they keep this even-handedness up, it'll be done regularly.
What about the jabs at Obama or Biden? Are you nuts?
If they had been jabbing at Mitt Romney and Hillary, then it would have been Bi-Partisan.. as it stood.. it was Partisan against the Republican ticket.
Alaskan Meth capital? Hmmmmmm ?
I didn’t hear any jabs about McCain.
It was all Hillary/Palin, with good zings at both of them.
And when it gets on YouTube, I’m gonna count, because I think there were actually a few more directed at HRC.
Didn’t see it yet, but that’s not inherently even-handed. Hillary is a foe of Obama, and Palin is a foe of Obama.
Alaskan Crystal Meth capital? Hmmmmmm ?

Yep. It was Hillary = smart. Palin = dumb.
Alright.. so the next skit is against homeschool’d and religious children. What is going on here? Not.. funny.. material.
Showing her standing on a podium having equal stature with Hillary Clinton was powerful imagery. This was not bad at all for our side.
Throwaway.
What I was referring to was zings at Palin vs. zings at Clinton.
Exactly! Don’t you get that Yanni? If all it takes is for them to take hits on Hillary (who doesn’t count anymore) so they can relentlessly beat up on Palin and you don’t even see the problem with this, then I don’t know what else to say!
Agreed.
SNL quit being funny when they took a skit that would have been funny in two minutes and stretched it out to eight.
Garret Morris wasn’t available?
Hillary counts more than you know.
There were eighteen million people who voted for her in the primaries.
Polls have consistently stated that about a third of those are seriously disaffected with the Democratic Party because they feel that the nomination was stolen from Hillary Clinton by “superdelegates”, allowing half the votes from Florida and Michigan, and so forth.
I read a number of leftist and PUMA blogs; much more the latter than the former, because the discourse is more civil and unlike DU and a few other places, these people can actually spell, form coherent sentences and make cogent arguments.
And if what I read is for real, a lot of them are voting McCain/Palin— and a suprising number of them have donated money to the campaign.
And why? Because they are also sickened of the sexist way in which the media has treated Sarah Palin.
While many of them disagree with her on abortion, for example, They Want To Teach The Democratic Party That They Cannot Be Taken For Granted Any More.
And if half of the disaffected vote for Mc/P, then that goes a loooong way towards clinching the election. That’s THREE MILLIO VOTES, bucko.
And if you don’t think that some of that 20 percent gain among white female voters over forty isn’t due to the PUMA factor, well, think again.
I think he crashed and burned YEARS ago.
But he’d be better with his lines off TelePrompTer than Obama, even if he was wasted.
I think they directed a fair amount of ridicule at HRC.
A powerful reminder to the PUMA crowd about how the "Party Who Owns Feminism" (snark) treated their candidate.
